Tamdhu 10. Image courtesy Ian Macleod Distillers. This vintage malt from Tomatin is matured in a mix of American Oak and European Oak casks, and the nose is smooth and mild with soft spicy notes of clove, nutmeg, vanilla, honey, toasted oak, and coconut. There’s a good rich flavor with clove and cinnamon spices balanced well by honey, dried banana, coconut, and oak notes. The finish is dry and fruity with banana, coconut, nutmeg, honey, and a subtle touch of clove. Excellent! (April, 2014)
